I want to explore a horrible and unethical experiment conducted in the late 1960s that may have positive consequences, even if the dog-subjects don’t agree. Researchers attached the dog’s hind paws to an electrical current. For obvious reasons, the dog was terrified during the first initial shocks showing symptoms such as dilated pupils, hair standing on end, ears laid back, tail curled between its legs and “expulsive defecation and urination” (1&2). Thedog was then freed from the harness and after the first shock, “it moved slowly about the room, appeared to be stealthy, hesitant, and unfriendly” (2). The dog’s heart rate rose to 150 beats per minute above resting baseline during the first shock, then the heart rate fell to 30 beats below baseline for one minute (1&2). As the dog endured further electrical shocks, “it’s behaviour gradually changed. During the shocks, the signs of terror disappeared.
